Running Accomplishments:

I started running in 2008 while I was a stay-at-home-mom.  I discovered this blog in July 2010 and followed the advice from the blog to gradually improve my distance/speed.  I achieved various PR's in 2010/2011.   I went back to work part-time in 2012-2015 and switched to mostly running trail runs.   When I got prego with my third child in 2016, I stopped running and started work full-time.   After a 7 year hiatus, I returned to running in 2022.  I have alot of work to do to get back in shape, but looking forward to the challenge!

6 miles at 5am.  Weather=85F, 40% humidity, dark.

My garmin may be dead.  I did hard and soft re-set... nothing.  Nothing happens on the charger.  Ugh!  

Ran with Tim.  He ran two miles before I saw him.  The first two miles we ran together were really slow.  He started pushing the pace in the 3rd mile.  At the 4 mile turn around point I asked him what our pace was (since I didn't have a watch).  He said we were 8:15 on the last mile and 7:10 on the last 1/2 mile.  We started running again up a hill.  I pushed it.  Another 8:15ish pace for that one (I'm guessing).   I was tired.  Quads were burning.  I told him I was only doing 6 today.  He went out for another 2.  The guys a machine.  He's trying to run between 80-100 miles a week. 

If he keeps wanting to go this pace, I think 6 miles may be the max I can do in the mornings.  If he slows down a bit, I'll do 8.  I really don't care.  Life is so busy for me right now.  I'm just going through the motions trying to fit in running and working and taking care of children and my house.

Just going throught the motions still counts! Keep pushing and it will pay off.

BTW...RattleTrap had problems with his Garmin and sent it in for repairs. I don't think is cost him much if anything. You might want to ask him the process he went through.
